      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - It’s ok to feel whatever feelings you’re experiencing and more. You are absolutely free to sulk, desire, feel numb, be angry or frustrated, shrug it off, or have any other combination of emotions. Because – through no fault of your own – we live in a society that makes us feel that not being in a relationship is a problem we need to resolve,</image:title>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - Give it time to say what it needs to say, really take it in without interrupting. Whatever your inner voice says – we want to thank it. And only when it’s done talking – you can open your eyes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It often helps to write down the messages (by hand), as, in the process of writing them down, new insights are often revealed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - We, as singles, have been conditioned to believe that the more we beat ourselves up emotionally – the sooner we’ll end up in a relationship.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Yet, that’s not how it works at all, and instead of resolving the issue, we end up causing ourselves unnecessary emotional pain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - If the answer is no, of course I don’t judge other singles – see yourself through those nonjudgemental eyes. Remind yourself that being single is a circumstance. All it means is that the right match simply hasn’t appeared at the right time in the right place for you yet – that’s all!</image:title>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - My Personal Experience</image:title>
      <image:caption>I used to see couples everywhere on Valentine’s Day and feel the despair seeping in. Seeing women with wedding rings was like a dagger to the heart. I had told myself the story that the only way to feel happy and loved was to find someone else who would make me feel that way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - In my role of a hypnotherapist (and my personal life) I have met plenty of people who are lonely IN their relationships, even when on the surface their relationships look perfectly happy.</image:title>
      <image:caption>That’s because loneliness can be prevented by the quality of the relationships in your life, not the mere presence of them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - Bella shows a graph measuring the levels of happiness university students thought they would have if they remained single (around 3 out of 10) vs their perceived levels of happiness after they got married (between 8 &amp; 9).</image:title>
      <image:caption>She then contrasts it with the reality of single people marking themselves between 7 and 8 BEFORE they’re married,</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Single on Valentines Day - Sometimes the weight of previous rejections, we carry around with us in the subconscious, becomes too unbearable.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is when any trigger – like Valentines Day – can bring about unwanted feelings we thought we had buried a long time ago.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - What to Do When You Can’t Stop Thinking About Someone - So you’ve been trying to get over this person or this idea on your own, probably for some time. Your heart might be heavy, your mind is restless, and no matter how much you tell yourself to move on, the memories, songs, smells and places pull you back into repetitive thoughts about them. You might be replaying past conversations, wondering what you could have done differently, or feeling like you’ve lost something very significant.</image:title>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - What to Do When You Can’t Stop Thinking About Someone - You might feel a strong desire for that person’s affections, in which case dopamine is released into your brain when you think about them, making you literally addicted to those thoughts.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60897fe9c65d87017d50bf70/dadb5edf-4e34-447b-ad9c-8cde0421e139/NNNW1469.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - What to Do When You Can’t Stop Thinking About Someone - There could be a deep sense of rejection or of feeling not good enough for her or him. In this case the continuous thoughts about them can detrimentally affect our self esteem and intensify the longing to be with them</image:title>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - What to Do When You Can’t Stop Thinking About Someone - Fear of loneliness can keep us trapped in ‘all or nothing’ thinking, i.e. we might feel that we have to figure out a way to be with this specific person or we’ll be alone forever.</image:title>

    <image:image>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - What to Do When You Can’t Stop Thinking About Someone - You don’t need to change yourself to please this person nor persuade them to be with you. What you do need is to address the belief that you are lacking … (worth, attractiveness, intelligence etc.) if you’re not with them.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In sessions with my clients, I use a process that detaches their self-image from what someone else thinks of them. This is really useful when your perception of yourself is enmeshed with the other person’s views of you, to the point that you can no longer tell which is which.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - What to Do When You Can’t Stop Thinking About Someone</image:title>
      <image:caption>You do not need to fight yourself every time your mind returns to a past memory of this man or woman. Accept the thoughts and allow them to be there, remembering that you are not your thoughts. Sometimes we resist accepting emotions as it might seem that accepting them will make them stronger. It does the opposite: identifying a thought and simply observing it, creates a distance between us and it. It’s that growing distance that helps us eventually separate ourselves from it completely.</image:caption>

As you submerge yourself in that meditation over and over again, it’ll start to feel like you were really there and you’ve already done that presentation many times and it’s gone fine -</image:caption>

      <image:caption>But it’s not always wise to base our inner world on the inner worlds of others, especially if they they don’t recognise looking after their mental health as a priority.    For example, some people may believe that loving ourselves is “wrong”, and that taking care of ourselves is “selfish”. Respecting opinions such as that, could shame one into treating oneself terribly against their own best interests.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You might have been terrible at swimming when you were a child, but have since taken lessons and swim fine as an adult, but your school friends still assume that you’ll stay in shallows whenever you go on holiday with them.  Even if we’ve still got that “flaw” - it’s only a detriment if we say so ourselves. After all - no one is good at everything.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - RTT Therapy Near Me vs RTT Therapy Online - Which is Better? - Here is why:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Single-session therapy: for most issues treatable by RTT Therapy, you would only need one session with a catch-up 21 days later. Therefore, it is less relevant whether the therapist is near you or not, as you won’t be going to her office regularly for months.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - RTT Therapy Near Me vs RTT Therapy Online - Which is Better? - • Closed eye process:</image:title>
      <image:caption>RTT involves hypnotherapy, therefore, the client has their eyes closed for most of the session. This allows them to relax fully and really go to the scenes in their past that have caused the issue. Since you have your eyes closed, it matters less whether the therapist is in the same room as you, half way across the country, or half way across the globe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - RTT Therapy Near Me vs RTT Therapy Online - Which is Better? - • Stay until the issue is resolved:</image:title>
      <image:caption>RTT Therapy sessions are not timed and you do not pay by the hour. You and the therapist stay in the session until you discover the root of the issue, and then for as long as needed to heal and transform the original hurt. Most session last two hours or slightly longer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - RTT Therapy Near Me vs RTT Therapy Online - Which is Better? - • The therapist can check that you’re relaxed by lifting your arms and dropping them into your lap at the start of the session.</image:title>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - Most of these biases are unconscious -</image:title>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - “You should just get yourself out there.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>I can assure you that those singles who want to be ‘out there’ (whatever that even means) - already are. Getting into a relationship is not like finding a job, one does not just send out a lot of CVs and go to a few interviews, like the dating sites would have us believe. Saying that to get into a relationship one needs to just get themselves out there is the same as saying that to win the jackpot in a casino all you have to do is to physically be in the casino; and I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works, or I’ve been going to the wrong casinos.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - 3. “You’ll find someone soon”</image:title>
      <image:caption>With all due respect, no one knows that. I know it’s tempting to use this one, especially if your single friend is actually crying about their singlehood, but it’s the amalgamation of these false hopes that has some singles going back to the toxic culture of dating sites, even when it’s clear that the odds are stacked against them, because - what if?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>even if your friend used the method to find her current partner, that does not make her the relationship-finding expert any more than me having found £20 on the street outside my house makes me in expert in helping people find cash lying on the street.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - 6. “You probably don’t want it (a relationship) bad enough.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>If wanting things ensured us getting them, half of the world would be millionaires by now. This is exactly the sort of thing that frustrates hard-working singles: because getting into a relationship is not something you can work at, it’s pure luck. Shani Silver  said “dating is the only area of life where increased effort does not match reward”.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - 8. “It’s only couples coming, but you can join us I guess.” The weird assumption behind it is that couples should hang out with couples and single people should hang out with single people, adding to the segregation and isolation of singles. I understand that sometimes party organisers do it in an attempt to protect some of the couples from feeling insecure, in case the single person tries to ‘steal’ their partner. This sort of negative projection of singles’ intentions is similar to assuming that if a person is gay they’ll want to sleep with everyone in their own gender, including you.</image:title>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - 10. “You’re too independent/too smart. The men/women are intimidated by that.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>This one is super confusing as traditionally, at least in the West, we are praised for being smart and independent - that’s pretty much the whole point of the education system. If there really is a level of independence or intelligence that puts off others from having relationships with you, doesn’t that basically mean that you have to sacrifice your personal growth to get into a relationship?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - 12 Things NOT to Say to Single People - even if you’re ‘just trying to help’ - 12.  "Love appears when you least expect it"/"The right one will come along when you're not looking"</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am sure there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence (perhaps from our friend with red knickers on her chandelier from No 4 above  ) of how someone found a relationship the minute they gave up on dating sites, but that doesn’t prove that that’s what caused their partner to appear in their life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Loneliness at Christmas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Loneliness is a distressing subjective emotional state related to how we perceive and experience our social relationships, rather than an objective measure of the number of close social bonds. The feeling of loneliness arises when there is a mismatch between the quality and quantity of social relationships we require to feel content vs the quality and quantity of connections we actually have.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Loneliness at Christmas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Self-Reflection and Meditation: engaging in mindfulness practices, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, allows us to become more aware of our thoughts and feelings, and gain a distance from them, so that they are no longer felt as facts. Reframing our experience: the English language helpfully has two different words for describing time spent alone – loneliness and solitude. As already discussed, loneliness is a subjective negative experience. By understanding our beliefs as to what makes our time spent alone negative or positive, we can adjust our interpretation of the situation to one that makes us feel better. Solitude is quality me-time, when you get to do partake in activities that bring you joy regardless of whether you do them on your own or with others. Here are a few ideas in case you get stuck. Expressing Gratitude: numerous studies have found that practicing daily gratitude is linked to improved mental health, including reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety, more optimistic outlook on life, increased feelings of joy, satisfaction, and overall well-being. You can start with simply writing down 3-5 things you’re grateful for every day. They can be as small as a nice cup of coffee or as big as getting a promotion at work. The main thing is to revel in the feeling of gratitude you’re feeling and magnify it! Self-discovery: pursuing hobbies that used to bring you fulfilment earlier in life, and discovering new interests can dramatically improve your mood, uncover hidden talents, bring meaning and improve your quality of life dramatically in a short period of time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Longing for a relationship can create a sense of restlessness and lead to a strong impulse to connect with others immediately, whether through dating apps, social events, or other means, in the hope of meeting potential partners. You might feel a constant urge to find that special someone, which can lead to increased dating efforts and seeing a potential partner in everyone you meet, potentially leading to more disappointment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Does Longing for a Relationship Feel Painful? - Yearning for Intimacy:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Longing for a relationship is frequently linked to a desire for physical and emotional intimacy. You may crave the comfort and closeness that comes from sharing your life with someone, being hugged, kissed, someone holding your hand. This craving sometimes intensifies the longer the time that passes since you’ve last been intimate with someone,</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Do I Feel Lonely When I Have Friends? - There are two primary types of loneliness:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Emotional Loneliness: This type of loneliness refers to the feeling of missing close, emotional connections and meaningful relationships with others. It is associated with a lack of intimacy, trust, and companionship in one's social life. Social Loneliness: Social loneliness involves the perception of a deficit in the quantity and quality of social interactions and social network size. It can manifest as a lack of friends, acquaintances, or a limited social circle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Do I Feel Lonely When I Have Friends? - In her book “How Emotions Are Made” Lisa Feldman Barrett</image:title>
      <image:caption>proposes that emotions are not hardwired into the brain at birth, as previously thought, but are instead constructed by the brain through a process of prediction and interpretation of external information and bodily sensations. She says our brain generates these predictions based on our previous experiences and/or cultural learning.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>making us believe that being alone is always a dull, negative, and potentially dangerous emotional state. While loneliness as a feeling can indeed be distressing, it's important to recognise that real-life experiences of solitude can vary widely and may not always match the exaggerated portrayals we see in movies and other media. Understanding the difference between media representations and the actual experience of loneliness can help us manage our expectations.</image:caption>

It’s important to remember that all humans are equal irrespective of their talents or achievements.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It's important to recognise that feeling lonely is a common human emotion, and it can affect anyone. It’s also important to remember that YOU HAVE A CHOICE as to how to feel.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Do I Feel Lonely When I Have Friends? - 2. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, developing a self-accepting, self-respecting attitude, so that you can support yourself first and foremost.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I strongly believe that loneliness arises when we are not able to connect with ourselves. Self-love and self-compassion helps us re-build this important connection.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Do I Feel Lonely When I Have Friends?</image:title>
      <image:caption>If feelings of loneliness persist and significantly affect your well-being, consider seeking support from a therapist or counsellor who can help you explore the underlying causes, provide guidance and help with understanding yourself better.  Remember that enjoying solitude is not about eliminating  the need for connection, but rather about finding fulfilment and contentment in your own company. Solitude can be a valuable and enriching experience when approached with a positive and open mindset.</image:caption>

It’s only the connection to ourselves that can give us true belonging, stability, peace and healthy self-esteem - independent of the opinions of others. We can only build a safe home in Ourselves.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But if you’re not in your Happily Ever Before yet, I bet you think that a relationship with another is ultimately more valuable. After all, it feels so good when we’re in love and being loved, and the relationship with ourselves lacks that same excitement.  I see what you’re saying, and we’ll discuss why it is that we feel love from another so intensely, but consider what it does to your mind, this centering of a person you haven’t got to know yet… Whilst at the same time neglecting the one person who’s always been here for you, who was there with you in your mother’s womb, every single waking moment of every day for as long as you’ve been alive, and is the only person guaranteed to be with you when you take your last breath.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Am I Still Single? There is nothing wrong with you! - There was a huge void in my life where something significant should have been,</image:title>
      <image:caption>and, I assumed, that something was a romantic relationship. After all, whenever I felt bad about myself when I was younger, I would find a boyfriend and - hey presto - the problem was resolved. Or at least so it appeared. The reality was that none of my ex-partners could fill that void permanently, even if I had stayed with them for the rest of my life, because the void wasn’t theirs to fill.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why Am I Still Single? There is nothing wrong with you! - None of my partners - past, future or present - could ever heal my mother wound. The nurturing and protection I craved was not for my husband to provide. And if I kept looking for this incredible man who would magically know me better than I knew myself, I would have exhausted myself and wasted my life in pursuit, whilst feeling terrible about myself, because I couldn’t live up to this impossible standard of the Hollywood fairy tale Happily Ever After…</image:title>
      <image:caption>It took me decades to fill that void with therapy, art and self-compassion. You, on the other hand, do not have to spend this long figuring it out like I did.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - ‘I hate my Body’ - How to Love Your Body the Way It Is</image:title>
      <image:caption>It can be easy to confuse weight gain as the real reason for reduced self-worth, feelings of inadequacy, and the feeling of not being enough. Whilst the real reason hides in plain sight - the tying of self-worth and self-respect to looking a certain way. It’s so easy to have the real reason for the desire to be skinny to go under the radar, because we’ve all been subjected to intense conditioning that wanting to lose weight is a good thing to aspire to - IRRESPECTIVE of how it makes you feel.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why do we want to be thin? - 2. Body image and self-esteem:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some women may associate being skinny with having a positive body image and higher self-esteem. They may believe that achieving a particular body size or shape will lead to increased confidence, happiness, and success in various aspects of life. The subconscious belief may be that thinness is directly linked to personal worth and value. 3. Peer pressure and comparison: Women may feel pressure to conform to societal expectations and compare themselves to others, especially in the age of social media. Seeing images of thin women or receiving comments and feedback from peers can create subconscious beliefs that being very slim is the ideal and desirable state.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The growth of the fashion and media industries in the 20th century played a significant role in popularising the skinny ideal. Fashion designers, photographers, and magazines promoted super-slim figures as the epitome of style and beauty. Thin models and celebrities became influential figures, and their images were widely disseminated through magazines, advertisements, and later, television and the internet. This constant exposure reinforced the association between thinness and beauty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Happily Ever Before Blog - Why do we want to be thin?</image:title>
      <image:caption>&gt; Feminism and women's liberation movement: In the latter half of the 20th century, the feminist movement challenged traditional gender roles and expectations, including the objectification and sexualization of women's bodies. While this movement aimed to empower women and promote body acceptance, there were also conflicting messages. Some feminists criticised the emphasis on being skinny as a tool of oppression, while others argued for individual agency and the right to choose one's appearance, including a desire for thinness.</image:caption>
